Molecular Study On Marine Azotobacter Spp
INTRODUCTION Nitrogen fixation is the reduction of N2 (atmospheric nitrogen) to NH3 (ammonia).Free-living prokaryotes with the ability to fix atmospheric dinitrogen (diazotrophs) are ubiquitous in soil, but our knowledge of their ecological importance and their diversity remains incomplete. Nitrogen fixation-related genes have been highly conserved throughout evolution even though they are widely distributed among eubacteria and archaea. The great diversity of diazotrophs also extends to their physiological characteristics, as N fixation is performed by chemotrophs and phototrophs and by autotrophs as well as heterotrophs (Burgmann et al., 2003). However, evidence has been accumulating which...

Hair Follicle Cloning - A Summary of the Recent Literature as Related to the Treatment of Hair Loss
There are many limitations to cosmetic, medical and surgical treatment methods currently in use for hair loss. Newer treatment methods will eventually emerge, which potentially have the ability to "cure" inherited patterned baldness permanently. These methods encompass the concepts of Hair Follicle Cloning and Gene Therapy. Hair follicles are miniature hair growing organs which evolve through growth and rest cycles. In addition to hairs being grown and then shed in these phases, the follicle itself disintegrates almost entirely by the end of the regression phase, and an almost entirely new follicle is created at the beginning of the next growth phase. This presents a unique opportunity for applying...
